Ma Zhi left the study room with his front legs, and Hua Yue walked out from behind the screen with his back legs.
Looking at Ma Xiaoquan, Hua Yue suddenly felt that he was so handsome and well planned.
Hua Yue had told Ma Xiaoquan more than once about Fang Yun earlier. Although Fang Yun had not yet made any explicit betrayal, in fact, Fang Yun had secretly manipulated the gathering place's ledger and sent it in early.
In the hands of Wei Zhongxian.
In other words, Wei Zhongxian actually knows everything about all the businesses in the gathering place.
Although Ma Xiaoquan was surprised by Fang Yun's quick actions, it wouldn't be long before a major event would happen in the capital, that is, the death of Emperor Tianqi Zhu Youxiao, and then Zhu Youjian's succession.
Ma Xiaoquan was confident that he could fool Zhu Youxiao, but he had no confidence at all about Zhu Youjian. Coupled with the incident with Chen Xiaoxiao, Ma Xiaoquan had always had deep opinions on Zhu Youjian.
Since he would be staying in the capital for more than a year at most, Ma Xiaoquan just kept it quiet when Hua Yue told him about Fang Yun.
It's just... if Fang Yun is allowed to develop like this, I'm afraid that Fang Yun will soon be as full-fledged as Mao Gang, and then fight back against himself.
Ma Xiaoquan didn't want this to happen a second time. His plan was to do it himself at the right time. Even if Fangfang resented him for this for the rest of his life, he didn't mind. Now that it's fine, Ma Zhi's sudden appearance is considered a blessing.
After solving Ma Xiaoquan's urgent need, Fang Yun was killed by Ma Zhi. Well, it had nothing to do with me, Ma Xiaoquan, haha...
"Next, sir, what are you going to do?"
Ma Xiaoquan dragged his chin and said: "A group of Jurchens have been captured in the prison recently. Well, this time they are real Jurchens. I have to spend two days to interrogate..."
"Ah... the imperial prison?" Hua Yue stuck out her tongue and said, "I heard that the imperial prison is very scary. No one who goes in can come out alive."
Ma Xiaoquan chuckled: "You can also say that, okay, let's not talk about it for now. You and Ge Shuqing will have a good chat tomorrow and try to untie her knot. Well, if it doesn't work, just say you already have me.
children..."
Hua Yue was stunned for a moment, touched her belly, and sighed: "It's really strange. Why haven't I had a child from my husband-in-law for so long..."
Ma Xiaoquan chuckled and said, "Let nature take its course~"
"Hmm~~"
...
The next day, Hua Yue followed Ma Xiaoquan's arrangement and took the initiative to chat with Ge Shuqing.
After becoming a real woman, Ge Shuqing's temper was much better than before, and she was no longer so resistant to Hua Yue.
Thanks to the good night last night, Ma Zhi was in high spirits today. Seeing him grinning at him, Ma Xiaoquan shook his head and said: "Okay, don't be proud. I have completed the task for you, how can you repay me?"
?”
Ma Zhi was stunned, thinking that Ma Xiaoquan would ask him to kill Fang Yun now, but Fang Yun was not at home now.
Ma Xiaoquan saw Ma Zhi's worry, patted him on the shoulder and said: "Don't worry, we are a family, it's not yet time..."
Ma Zhi breathed out.
...
In the evening, Ma Xiaoquan came back from the imperial prison first, and Ge Shuqing also chatted with Hua Yue for a day. At the end of the day, Ge Shuqing's attitude towards Hua Yue changed greatly, and she even called her sister.
Ma Xiaoquan was surprised at Hua Yue's ability, but Hua Yue smiled softly.
After Ge Shuqing left, Ma Xiaoquan asked in a low voice: "How did you get Ge Shuqing?"
Hua Yue said: "I used to help the family take care of the business, so I haven't seen this kind of person. Ge Shuqing is still too simple and easy to coax."
Ma Xiaoquan snorted and thought to himself, "What do you mean? Then what I said to you before, didn't you already guess that I was trying to coax you?"
Hua Yue saw Ma Xiaoquan staring at him in horror and guessed his worry, then smiled and said: "Yueer believes whatever my husband says."
Ma Xiaoquan burst into tears. His words were so perfunctory that he couldn't find anything wrong with them.
"But..." Hua Yue looked at Ma Xiaoquan lovingly.
"What's wrong?"
Hua Yue said happily: "I also took the time to find a doctor today. My husband, I really need one..."
"What? Really?"
"Hmm~~" Hua Yue nodded happily.
"Oh~~~That's great..." Ma Xiaoquan held Hua Yue's hand, and my Ma family has welcomed another child.
Hua Yue pursed her lips and said, "Can't it be a girl? I like girls."
Ma Xiaoquan chuckled, scratched his head and said: "Good girl, good girl~~ Hehe..."
Hua Yue rolled her eyes at Ma Xiaoquan, broke away from his hand, and asked seriously: "What about Ma Zhi? Didn't you go to prison together? Why hasn't he come back yet?"
Ma Xiaoquan smiled sinisterly and said: "His work is not done yet, hehe."
"What's his job? He's just a counselor, wouldn't he also step forward to interrogate the prisoner himself?"
Ma Xiaoquan shook his head: "That's not true. I won't let it. It seems that Wei Zhongxian's henchman Tian Ergen also gave an order. If he doesn't let it, let him watch. Now, that kid Ma Zhi probably vomited several times.
Come back, haha..."
"Ah? How could you do this to him?"
Ma Xiaoquan shook his head and said: "I don't know why Tian Ergen is treating him. I am also training him by treating him this way. After all, no matter where you look at it, he and I are a family."
"Then Ma Zhi..." Hua Yue was still a little worried.
"I will definitely send someone to keep a close eye on Ma Zhi. Before I leave completely, all matters in the family, big and small, must be closely monitored."
"Ms. sir, do we really want to leave?"
"Well, the capital is not a place to stay for a long time. When the emperor dies suddenly and Xin Wang succeeds to the throne, everything will change."
"Will Wei Zhongxian... really be overthrown? He is too powerful now."
"Haha, I will~"
...
It was late at night when Ma Zhi returned home from prison.
After watching the interrogation of prisoners for a day, Ma Zhi's heart almost broke.
Although I have been on the battlefield before and have seen the cruelty on the battlefield, those who died in battle were not those who were tortured to death. The two properties are completely different.
Seeing Ma Zhi's frightened look, Ge Shuqing didn't dare to say anything. Since she and Ma Zhi actually had sex as husband and wife, she seemed to have become a lot more well-behaved, even though she was still a bit of a young lady.
Ma Zhi calmed down the panic in his heart and looked at Ge Shuqing with a smile: "Madam, how are you today?"
Ge Shuqing's pretty face turned red, she hummed softly, and said: "Sister Yue'er has already told me, sir, I misunderstood you, it's all in the past, let's not mention it again in the future, okay?"
"
Ma Zhi was stunned for a moment, then became happy. When he went out, he was still worried that his wife would quarrel with Hua Yue, but now it seems that he is overthinking it.
Ma Zhi couldn't help but admire Ma Xiaoquan, and at the same time he felt envious. He felt like he had missed out on such a good woman like Hua Yue. Ma Xiaoquan, Ma Xiaoquan, was such a blessing.
...
At night, Ma Xiaoquan called Ma Zhi into the study and discussed with him the results of the interrogation in the imperial prison during the day.
Ma Zhi didn't pay too much attention to the results of the interrogation. He probably vomited during the entire observation process because it was too cruel and disgusting.
"I thought Jin Yiwei was scary at first because everyone said it. What I saw today is really..." Ma Zhi covered his chest and seemed to have some palpitations.
"Haha, just get used to it. Since Wei Zhongxian has arranged this job for you, I can't let you be idle. But if you don't like it, I can help you avoid going to prison in the future."
Ma Zhi was shocked, it turned out that Ma Xiaoquan knew that Wei Zhongxian had arranged his mission.
Raising his head, Ma Zhi looked at Ma Xiaoquan with some horror.
"Don't be afraid. I didn't say what I want you to do. I still say the same thing. We are a family. I won't get any benefit from hurting you. It's just Ma Zhi. I think your mind is still not firm enough. Maybe you
Are you still afraid of the Geshu family? After all these days, have you always felt strange that the Geshu brothers have disappeared? "
Ma Zhi nodded.
"Didn't you notice that among the Jurchens we pulled in during the day, they were among them?"
"Ah? Jurchen Jianxi? Are they Geshu brothers?"
Ma Xiaoquan grinned and said: "As for me, I have nothing to do. I have also secretly investigated in the past two days. I followed the clues and finally let me find out some clues. The fact that you were able to successfully fake your death was not all because of the fault of the Songs and Books family.
God can't, but they also relied on some intelligence, such as...when did you go to war, when did you dress, when did you bathe, and when did you take off your armor..."
"This...how do they know?"
"Haha, you have to ask your wife about this..."
"You mean Ge Shuqing?"
"Haha, she actually doesn't know what the family is doing. She just occasionally mentioned it when chatting with Yue'er during the day. By coincidence, when I went to marry Xiaomei (Beiming Shuangxue), I met one of her cousins at her house.
, his cousin’s man happens to be one of your subordinates, you should have some impression of her wife’s name, um, it’s Beiming Meihua.”
"Beiming Meihua..." Ma Zhi lowered his head and thought for a while, then suddenly raised his head and said, "I remembered that the subordinate mentioned his wife's name."
"Very good, then do you remember the name of your subordinate?"
"My name is...Ge Shuliang..." Ma Zhi said calmly.
"Ge Shuliang, Ge Shuliang, haha..." Ma Xiaoquan replied.
"Songshu..." Ma Zhi was stunned for a moment, then shook his head with a wry smile, "It turns out that from the beginning, I was destined to be unable to escape the palms of the Songshu family."
"It's not that exaggerated. I gave you a little help and turned the two brothers Geshu Xingyun and Geshu Liushui into Jurchens. They are now in prison. They will not die if they die. But
